Hi-Fi Streamers - Mark Levinson

A Hi-Fi Streamer (also called a "Digital Streamer", "Media Player", "Network Player" or "Network Client") connects to your home network and internet (via ethernet cable or wirelessly) to play music from online services like Spotify, Tidal, iTunes, Last FM, internet radio, YouTube, etc and to seamlessly access music stored on your NAS drive, PC, Mac, or other Apple/Android device connected to your home network. These are designed to be used with your existing hi-fi amplifier or music system, but if you're putting together a system from scratch we also sell complete complete streaming systems which are streamers like these but with a built in amplifier to directly connect speakers. We also sell dedicated hi-fi DACs, but in many cases these won't include wireless streaming features or access to online music services.

Streaming music has come a long way in the last few years and we only sell a selection of the best available Hi-Fi streamers, designed to give the best quality sound. Even if you're a dedicated collector of vinyl or CDs, you owe it to yourself to discover what is now possible from streaming music. As well as the quantity of music available (thousands of radio stations available online, etc) along with the convenience of playing music from your devices at the touch of a button, the sound quality of online music has improved dramatically, with huge increases in the number of high res tracks available from sources like HD tracks.

Having said that, if you're new to streaming, we're here to help. We consider ourselves streaming experts and as a specialist hi-fi company, we are passionate about music and hi-fi and offer helpful advice to point you in the right direction - just give us a call or send us an e-mail with your questions.

Mark Levinson is an American audio company that specialise in the design and manufacture of high end hifi equipment with products such as amps, turntables and streaming/CD players.

Mark Levinson, the original founder, made his name working as a bassist for jazz pianist, Paul Bley among others in the sixties and early seventies. Later in 1972, he founded the audio company, which was originally called Mark Levinson Audio Systems and ran it through to 1984. Mark Levinson Audio Systems used their expert knowledge to design and produce innovative high end hi fi separates, most notably, the LNP-2 preamplifier.

In 1984, Levinson parted ways with MLAS and founded another audio equipment company; Cello Ltd. But, due to the grounds that he was a working trade name, MLAS launched a lawsuit attempting to prevent Levinson from working in the audio industry. Ultimately, Levinson lost the right to use his name as a trade name on an audio product in the future. Since this incident, Mark Levinson products have no relationship to the original owner and are now owned by Harman International.

Mark Levinson focus on developing extremely high end hifi products from hifi amps, turntables and CD players and are designed to give you the very best sound for all your music sources so you can hear every note and feel every beat.

Some of the brand's most notable products include the No 5206 pre amplifier, from their flagship 5000 range, and the Mark Levinson No 536 power amp, from their other flagship 500 range. When designing hifi systems, Mark Levinson take style, performance and musicality into consideration and is a great option for any budding audiophile.
